Reviews for Old Mill Toronto
Great Venue
Thanks AWBR Intelligence for nice job carried out
Excellent event
We chose the Old Mill because of its reputation for events, and for the beautiful interior and exterior of the building. Also, the space is primarily an event space, away from other busy neighbourhoods. The location is also a big reason we choose the venue. I have friends who live in Mississauga and friends who live in Toronto, so it was in the middle. I also like that it’s right at Old Mill station on the TTC line, as many downtown guests could take advantage of this.
The planning and communication with Rebecca was very professional. She always responded to us in a timely fashion, and addressed all of our questions and concerns thoroughly.
The night of the event was close to perfect. I want to shout out to Dimitri, our banquet captain. He was very attentive, and always present. The bartender (we went with a host paid bar) Robert was also a superstar. He was very personable to us and all of our guests, extremely attentive, professional, and a great bartender overall. The wait staff was also extremely professional, personable, and the dinner service was flawless. The food was of high quality and very generous portions (we went with guests choosing their own entrees beforehand, so we chose their beef, chicken, veggie, or fish entrees). The OMT cake was very well made and beautiful. It was also very competitive in pricing to other bakeries nearby, so I don’t feel there is any need to go elsewhere since they make the cake on premises - one more thing to not worry about delivery-wise. The late night pizza we ordered was also very high quality, and our guests ate it all.
The only glitch I’ll point out is that the Westminster’s house lights flickered once they were set to below half of full brightness. This made it impossible to turn the lights down enough to be inviting. We had to keep them bright to avoid the flickering. Dimitri noted that usually they are turned down during the cocktail hour to be more inviting, and when the table candles are lit. This was not possible without a very annoying flickering of the lights. In the end, it was not a huge problem, but would have been nice to have them lowered. During the dancing part, they were turned all the way down, and our DJ’s excellent lighting took over.
All things considered, I’d say the event was very well priced for what we got. We splurged for the host-paid bar, served dinner, each guest chose their own entree, host-paid coat check, and host-paid parking passes. The host-paid bar is paid up front by averaging the number of drinks per guest (I think it was seven drinks), and then adjusted after the event for actual consumption. Since many of our guests don’t drink, we got a pleasant surprise after the event in the form of a refund.
I would absolutely recommend the Old Mill as a venue for a wedding or similar evening event.
Perfectly amazing!
When the wedding day was done, we got a refund of the actual guests count on the day of and drinks that we only consumed.
We highly recommend this place if you want to have an awesome wedding day👏👍
Above and Beyond!
The garden is a beautiful place to take pictures. We didn't need a studio or other place to go to on the day of - everything happened at the Old Mill.
The event team were truly mind readers and provided decorations that we weren't even aware would be provided. I had mentioned in passing that I wasn't a huge fan of a fence on the Guildhall patio and was told that nothing could be done so I let it be. Lo and behold, it was covered with greenery and potted flowers on the day of our wedding! The cabinet behind the head table was beautifully decorated with candles and ornaments that were beyond our expectations. The catering & service team greeted us on arrival, and Robert, our bartender, got rave reviews from our friends and family. The food was excellent - the steak was perfectly cooked, and the strawberry shortcake was the perfect end to dinner. Our non-vegetarian friends were even jealous of the tagine that our vegetarian friends got - not an easy feat! Our guests were also stunned by the kindness and efficiency of the wait staff. Their timing was impeccable - they allowed the flow of the wedding to go uninterrupted.
All in all, the food, service, and atmosphere of the Old Mill was exceptional. Their long history of planning events made the whole process way less stressful than it could have been. If you want a venue that can cater and execute a wedding in their sleep with little involvement from you on the day of, then we would highly recommend Old Mill!
Beautiful venue and wonderful people
The Worst Wedding Venue
First and foremost, the customer service was absolutely terrible. The staff seemed to be disinterested and disorganized, making it difficult to communicate effectively. I had to make multiple attempts just to get a response to my inquiries, and even then, the information I received was incomplete and unhelpful.
During our tasting, the food was subpar at best. It was mostly bland and unappetizing, and we left feeling extremely underwhelmed. We're not tough food critics but the bread was clearly stale, pasta was cold (it was like they took the noodles out of the fridge and poured hot sauce over it), soup was tasteless, fish was not fresh.. I could go on and on.
It makes me wonder how people host good weddings here? I couldn't imagine subjecting my guests to such lacklustre customer service and cuisine on such an important occasion.
Overall, I was thoroughly disappointed with my experience at the Old Mill. I would highly advise anyone considering this venue to look elsewhere. We obviously did not book Old Mill for our wedding and if you are on the fence, this is your sign to not waste your money. There are SO many more beautiful venues that are similar in the Toronto area that are more than happy to have your business, it was clear Old Mill had no care to have ours.
Fantastic!
Price-wise, we also found them to be one of the more affordable options in Toronto at $72/head for seated, served 4 course dinner (alcohol package seperate at $60/head).
I will note that there are some exclusions - Old Mill doesn't have chair covers (just chivari chair rentals at $6/chair); the beer selection for the regular bar package isn't very good, and parking is an additional cost ($12/car).
Wonderful!!
Great service & beautiful ambiance
We initially hired the Old Mill Toronto in November 2019 for our wedding date that was then scheduled for October 2020. Since we have a lot of international family and everything was so uncertain with COVID-19, we moved our wedding date a few times and decided to update some of the services from the contract. The venue was very responsive and gave us options for the event we could host.
They also connected us with an amazing officiant who incorporated and personalized the ceremony for us, making it extra special!
For our wedding day, everything was ready and beautiful. We were very happy with the service and would totally recommend people to consider the Old Mill Toronto to host their special day
